All the routes converge on Rochester Cathedral in time for the service on Saturday afternoon 10th July 2010 at 5.30pm. The routes range from a short stroll down paved footpaths to demanding two days walks. The main routes are summarised below. The walks are unescorted and, while we have endeavoured to make them as safe as reasonably practical, you walk them at your own risk.

We can offer other routes if required. Please contact walk@justchildren.org.uk.
